This is what I thought. However, the PRAM battery could be drained...?

NADA. Dead dead dead.  And yup, as soon as I make room I'll get that 
dual G5 but you can bet it will get used right away. :-) In fact when 
I'm in the store I will be tempted to bring home either one of those

if you take the laptop somewhere and it gets swiped, there goes all 
your work...set up, everything.
